Best Beginner's Book I've Seen June 1, 2005
44 out of 44 found this review helpful

This is an outstanding guide for learning how to throw pots. What sets this book apart from other beginning guides are the photos demonstrating the techniques and the cutaways showing both what the form should look like when properly executed and what the common mistakes look like and why. Other highlights include the clarity of the text, the inclusion of multiple methods to achieve a particular goal (e.g. opening, lifting the wall, etc.), and step-by-step instructions for several projects. While I made reasonable progress in a beginning class, the illustrations in this book really clarified the concepts and resulted in immediate improvements in my technique. I highly recommend it.

"Throwing Pottery Techniques" by Mary Chappelhow is perfect for the beginning potter. The information is not so lofty that the beginner is unable to keep up. Several projects are provided with clear instructions and lots of pictures. The information is easy to follow and very thorough. You will be pleased with this book.

My Favorite of All Pottery Books April 27, 2004
33 out of 33 found this review helpful

This is the best book that I have bought since I began working in clay. The step-by-step photos and the accompanying instructions are clear and helpful. I have made several of the projects following the techniques in the book and they have all turned out well. I would highly recommend this book for beginners as well as intermediate potters. You will use this book often as you perfect the different forms. I hope the author does another with additional projects.
